Dogs in Seattle

Every girl needs her own Dire Wolf!

I have started doing Rover so be prepared to see all my clients! This is Elway and Rook, two very good boys. 🐶🐕

"His name? Are you ready? It is Apolo Ohno. Yes! His mom in Wichita named him that after watching him on 'Dancing with the Stars'. She has cancer so he came out four months ago to stay with us. He is such a good boy!".

Even though it made me late for class, I had to meet (and pet) Apolo. He is a Shiloh Shepherd and I had never seen one. Beautiful dog.

My friend, Maureen, is a saint. She takes in dogs that are between owners and gives them love and a non-shelter place to stay before they head on to their forever home. It isn't an easy thing to take on! Her cat, Leroy, also willingly puts up with a bunch of strange dogs in his space.

Her latest dog was a chihuahua from California. Betty Joy was on 'death row' at a shelter there and didn't have long to live. Emerald City Pet Rescue saved her and brought her up to Seattle and Maureen took her in for almost 3 months. All of her people, including her niece and me, got to meet her. Betty Joy, tongue and all, was the sweetest girl!

And it is a happy day! Betty Joy got adopted today and is headed to her new home. A lovely couple that just arrived in Seattle from Sydney (in the lower right of the picture above) is giving Betty Joy the life and love she deserves. Yay!
